Actual: 3.5. Some of Deepak's too deep into his " religion". Enjoyed Sanjiv chapters a lot more.

** Books 41 - 2019 **

This books to accomplish Tsundoku Books Challenge 2019 and OWLsReadathon 2019

3,1 of 5 stars!

I should finish this books for my Arithmancy subjects in OWLsReadathon 2019 but unfortunately i can't finish yet in April 30! This books is have a slow plot and i doesn't have urge to finish it as soon as possible

I thought this books will be interesting since it was about two young Indian boys who lives in America. I set my expectation it will be awesome as [b:The Kite Runner|77203|The Kite Runner|Khaled Hosseini|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1546093833s/77203.jpg|3295919] but i'm totally wrong about it :(

This books contains of two perspectives. Deepak as Older brother and Sanjiv as younger one. Both of them told their stories how they became professional doctor. I really don't mind for any medical stuff related in this books but i can say this is too much that i can't handle with especially perspective from Deepak Chopra. I dunno why i am not really interested with he explains more about meditation and mahaguru's stuff that almost being explain every single chapter. I found Sanjiv's perspectives more interesting and i just love how he told us about his expertise works in hepatology area.

Somehow this books reminds me about [b:When Breath Becomes Air|25899336|When Breath Becomes Air|Paul Kalanithi|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492677644s/25899336.jpg|45424659] but it definitely far away different. I just enjoy to read WBBA than this pieces actually. If you love books about medical stuff related maybe you should try this one

I really liked this book. I like the juxtaposition of each brothers stories and how we were able to see the similarities and differences in their stories. I didn't know much (anything really) about Deepak or Sanjiv before I read the book and you definitely don't need to know anything before you pick up the book. There are good spiritual elements to the book but it's not an in your face spiritual book and that's not necessarily the sole focus of the book. Yes, that definitely comes up because it's part of their life, but I found the book to be more about their journey as people.

The book was great until Deepak left traditional medicine and went into Holistic Medicine. The book during his chapters turned into one great big advert for his books and business. I really enjoyed Sanjiv's chapters they were about family and his advancement into teaching and Continuing Education for Medical Professionals.
